>Also the VFP book market has gone from probably 15+ books on Fox 2.x to maybe one now. I dont count whil's books here because I cannot generally find them in mass marketers of books (Borders, Barnes and Noble, etc.)

You may not count Hentzenwerke books, but we sold as many or more copies of HackFox 6, through Whil's channels, as we did of HackFox 3, published by Addison-Wesley and sold in bookstores.

>Also, how come many of the people here and on the VFP conference circuit are not writing books for a major publisher ?

Because Whil's deal is better. I made a _lot_ more money on HackFox 6 than on HackFox 3 (not that either one pays for the time it took). I'm talking several times as much, not just the difference in sales.
